    Me thinks Obama has the Repubs stymied on this one. There's so many conflicting opinions coming from the right I don''t think they have any idea what they should do. It appears that they are in a catch 22 situation.

    They are petrified of losing more of the Hispanic vote!
    Most of these so-called objections aren't holding water and they know it.

        Whomever in the Obama administration that came up with this gem needs a pay upgrade. Unless Sotomayor is an ax murderer, opposition to her nomination could further shrink the GOP. The GOP was bragging how they where going to rip into Obama's nominee. After looking into her background and accomplishments you would think they would shut up.

          Good. Make this into a boil, and show everybody the head.

          Then, when it breaks, and it will, we can see more people ditch the rank and filed of the GOP and move to the other side.

          I think she's a good pick. I doubt there will be too many problems with her nomination.

          Yes please filibuster. They have already gotten rid of the blacks and so called gen X. Keep going on the Latin vote and find an Asian to hate on. In business in college we learned that seeking a greater share of a shrinking market is not the way to success.
